Free surfing lessons for the girls

Billabong Girls, together with The Herald and Weekend Post, Revlon, and Saltwater Girl magazine will be offering free surfing lessons with all the girls receiving certificates of completion from well-known surfer Shannon Ainslie and his Surf Life surf school. Yoga lessons, beaches games, creative corners, a nail bar where girls can have their nails done in the latest designs as seen on the stars such as Katy Perry and Halle Berry and all of this alongside some of the professional Billabong Girl Team Riders, who represent the brand all over the world as well as reknowned Capetonian surfer Tasha Mentasti who is the tour programme director and will be running the beach activities.

Port Elizabeth ladies will get their day on 19 December 2012 on Hobie Beach.

The Billabong Men’s Team will also be popping in to say hello and hit a few waves, as part of their drive through along the coast in search of the best waves.

Loads of giveaways such as bikinis, caps, head phones, Revlon hampers, and much more.

Ola and Vitamin Water will be there to keep everyone refreshed and hydrated and Island Tribe will set up a sun block station, encouraging girls to take care of their skin when in the sun.

REVLON will be adding some extra fun and glamour to the activities, by hosting a nail bar with nail art designs created by Chi Chi exclusively for these events.

“The beach days are about fun, sun, family and the surf.” said Vangie Boettger the Girls Marketing Manager for Billabong Girls. We are encouraging girls of all ages, with their families to come down and enjoy the day with us. There will be music, giveaways, surfing, yoga and so much more. Through the Billabong Girls Get out there campaign we are promoting healthy, outdoor living and literally encouraging girls of all ages to get out there and start living and what better place than at the beach in summer!” said Vangie

There is also a strong message of caring for the environment behind this campaign and girls have been encouraged to communicate with Billabong through facebook to submit their greening ideas about the environment in which they live. With some 300 entrants, 20 girlshave been chosen to represent the Billabong brand on the tour and their greening ideas will be implemented on the beaches which are visited. Recycled items will also be collected as part of a clean up and used in the creativity corner.

Girls of all ages are welcome to come and enjoy these free beach days with Billabong where they will embrace the outdoors, get back into the water and learn to love a healthy lifestyle.
